Fidelity Life has appointed James Mitchell as Business Manager to support financial advisers across Auckland and Northland.
The insurer says Mitchell has four years of experience in financial services and has worked closely with advisers in both insurance and KiwiSaver.
He joins Fidelity Life from NZ Funds, where he was a wealth adviser, and previously held roles at AIA NZ, including as an Adviser Relationship Consultant. He will be based in Auckland and report to Michelle O’Connell, the company’s Regional Manager – North.
O’Connell says Mitchell has a “…great understanding of the adviser landscape and a genuine interest in helping businesses succeed and grow.”
Mitchell says he is excited to join the company and work alongside customer-focused advisers across Auckland and Northland.
He replaces Kenny Kaushish who, the insurer says, recently left Fidelity Life to become a financial adviser.
